Chapter 273
Surprisingly, with a "squeak", the door was opened directly.
It is now noon, and the sky outside is the brightest and the sun is most abundant. However, the utility room in front of me is pitch black, and it seems that there is a monster living in it, swallowing all the light that shines in the corridor. Only a huge shadow could be vaguely seen at the door.
While strands of cool air slowly seeped out from the utility room, as if it was about to penetrate the skin of Lu Miao's body and penetrate into her muscles.
In just a few seconds, the hairs on her arms stood on end.
Lu Miao squinted her eyes, and in the darkness, two green light spots suddenly appeared on the huge black shadow, as if two eyes slowly opened, staring at her in the dark.
He walked in calmly, raised his hand and pressed the switch at the door, and the bright light instantly lit up, illuminating the entire utility room.
After a few screams of "Zhizhi", a gray shadow swiped and rushed into the pile of debris.
is a mouse.
Lu Miao walked into the utility room, where the original layout of the bathroom was still maintained.
The toilet, shower, and sink are all there, but there is a thick layer of dust on them and they have not been used again.
Apparently it was originally used as a toilet.
There are some cardboard boxes and other messy things piled up on the surrounding walls. There is also an unused piano and a covered easel. It seems that there is still an unfinished painting inside.
The black shadow I saw outside just now should be this.
Other than that, there's nothing special or unclean.
Lu Miao looked around inside, walked to the easel, and was about to reach out to lift the covering outside to take a look.
"Grandmaster."
Mr. Hai and Mrs. Hai hurried upstairs with the key, and were stunned when they saw that the utility room had been opened.
"The door lock is broken, I just twisted it and it opened." Lu Miao explained.
Mrs. Hai nodded, "Oh, it may be that no one has been in or out for a long time, and no one has checked the condition of the door lock. Master, is there any problem in this utility room?"
"No problem found for the time being."
Lu Miao shook her head, "However, I would like to ask, why is your bathroom not used anymore?"
Mrs. Hai's face was pale, "Master, then... did that cry come from this utility room?"
"No, I just feel a little strange, so just ask." Lu Miao said.
Mrs. Hai felt relieved, and raised her hand unnaturally to stroke the hair next to her ears, "It's nothing, every room in the house is equipped with a separate bathroom, and the public toilet is useless.
In addition, there are too many messy things in the house, and there is just a lack of a utility room, so I directly changed this place into a utility room. "
"Oh," Lu Miao nodded, and walked out of the utility room.
Mr. Hai and Mrs. Hai followed behind.
Mrs. Hai looked around in horror, lowered her voice and whispered, "Master, have you found where that voice came from?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden "crash" sound from the utility room behind her, as if water was flowing through the toilet.
But there was clearly no one in the utility room, and the toilet couldn't be pushed down by itself.
Mrs. Hai screamed in fright and hid behind Mr. Hai.
Boss Hai stepped back a few steps in fright, Lu Miao turned around and went back to the storage room, turned on the light, walked to the toilet and lifted the toilet lid to take a look.
The water inside is still swaying slightly.
Looking at the row of small footprints above the toilet, Lu Miao said, "It's just a mouse, it stepped on the toilet water button."
The two men breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Miao turned around, and when she was about to leave, she reached out and lifted the white cloth covering the easel.
A half-painted oil painting was exposed, showing the silhouette of a woman in a red dress.
The long black hair hangs down smoothly behind her, leaning against the window and looking forward.
The facial features are exquisite, the beautiful eyes are bent into two crescent moons, and the corners of the lips are slightly upward, revealing a gentle smile.
In the entire oil painting, only her head and the skirt on her body are colored, and the other parts only have simple line shapes.
There are several English letters written in the lower right corner of the oil painting.
Lu Miao reached out and touched the painting. Judging from the color changes of the canvas and paint, this painting should have been around for a long time.
"Did you draw this painting?"
"It's my son, he majored in this major in college." Mr. Hai replied.
"Where is the other person now?"
Mr. Hai glanced at Mrs. Hai next to him, "Um, he went abroad to study."
Lu Miao turned to look at him, "Who is the person in the painting?"
Mr. Hai was about to speak, but Mrs. Hai replied first, "Maybe it's his classmates or where he found the model, we don't know too well."
Lu Miao nodded, and after looking carefully at other places, they went downstairs together.
Mr. Hai and Mrs. Hai followed closely behind her, "Master, what's the matter with that cry?"
Lu Miao raised her eyelids and glanced at them lightly, "Mr. Hai, Mrs. Hai, did anything happen at home before these voices came out?"
"No, master, since you can't find the problem, why don't you do some religious rituals at home first." Mr. Hai raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Need not."
Lu Miao reached out and took out two talisman seals from her pocket and handed them to them, "Put this on next to your body, and I will come to you at night."
The two hurriedly reached out to take it, Madam Hai hesitated and said, "Master, that us...do we have to come too?"
"Well, I must come." Lu Miao replied meaningfully.
After the two asked the time, they could only grit their teeth and agree.
After returning from Haijia, Lu Miao turned on the computer and searched for MES.H on the Internet. These are the letters I saw under the oil painting just now.
There is a lot of information, which are basically advertisements and some useless mess.
Lu Miao searched for a long time, but found nothing useful.
After thinking about it, I searched for news about Jinghai Group and Haijia. There is a family portrait of Haijia on the Internet.
The Hai family has only one son, who looks like a man from the photos.
The introduction to him on the Internet is also very simple, except that he did not choose to inherit the family business but chose the path of art, there is no other introduction.
Raised his hand and touched his chin, the couple from the Hai family were obviously lying, at least Mrs. Hai was not telling the truth about the painting.
But Mr. Hai doesn't care about the problem at all, and only asks to do things.
The information on the Internet is also full of strangeness, and it seems that it has been deliberately deleted.
The phone rang, and Lu Miao took out the phone to connect. It was Gu Ziheng, who said that she needed to go over in advance to make a look, familiarize herself with the process, and arranged a car to pick her up.
